this cuts taxes for the overwhelming majority of people who pay income taxes. no south carolinian will pay more. [applause] other states have seen the successes we have had in south carolina and are nipping at our heels. look around the nation and see the legislature's, the states that are proposing slashing or even eliminating their income taxes. we have to keep up. we need to take a serious look at our regulatory environment. if government is causing -- costing business time, it is costing that business money. i know of no joint legislative and executive effort that comes together to look at removing regulations in the private sector that hold our economy back. that changes this year. i am announcing the formation of a gubernatorial task force largely to be made up of members of the business community that will review regulations and recommend those we can eliminate. some changes can and will be made at agency level. while i will be directing by executive order all of my agencies to begin this review process. some may require legislative action, which is why

the difference between the tax rebate and tax cut is simple: who stands to benefit? giving $100 million back in the form of a tax rebate will return $400 to everyone with their primary residence in the state. when you put a check in the hands of montana taxpayers, they're going to take that money downtown and spend it at the small businesses along our main streets. if you take the $100 million and use it to cut property taxes, instead, the average montana homeowner would receive just $44 this year, not $400. think about that -- it will take 10 years for the taxpayer to get as much money back as they'll get this year with the rebate. yet, if you are a company like pp&l, the proposed tax cut would reward you with over $1 million this year alone -- 23-thousand times more than what the average homeowner would receive. if we consider who stands to benefit from our actions, the path we should take becomes clear. we have the opportunity to return money to hardworking montanans and create $100 million dollars of economic activity -- in montana. this rebate won't blow long-te

the burden of this tax on almost three- quarters of nevada's small businesses. [applause] let me be clear, nevada's employers cannot afford higher taxes, and i will not support them. [applause] you and i know that we must continue to address the unemployment in our state, and we must deal with the economic realities thrust upon us. too many of our friends and neighbors are still out of work, and at 10.8%, unemployment is still much too high. against this backdrop, many programs have required modernization, and even the job description of governor has changed. i have led trade missions to china, korea, and canada. and, missions to mexico and israel are planned to expand nevada's global footprint. i am committed to leaving no stone unturned -- no road not taken. we must also invest in our nevada's innovators and entrepreneurs. and tonight, i am proud to announce that we will commit 10 million dollars to nevada's knowledge fund to do just that. [applause] for rural nevada, we have also placed an item in the budget to support the university cooperative extension pro

[applause] ultimately, the greatest asset that we have as you well know is demonstrated by the votes you have cast. maryland has built up one of the most highly skilled workforce of the country. better choices, better results. the reality is that too many of the new jobs being created in our economy go unfulfilled. why? too many people lack the skills to fill them. your vote on a bill will allow us to partner with businesses to put more workers with the skills they need to go into jobs that are in the highest demand. often times, this
